LG

LG seems to now also be doing the LTE-A variant dance like its arch rival. Instead of vesting its latest flagship with the latest and greatest specs, including an LTE Category 6 compatible modem, LG has left the G3 a bit wanting in that area and instead will be launching a different model in its home country just for this very purpose.

We are somewhat used to having variations between carriers or regional markets, but there are times when the differences are just plain ridiculous. The LG G3 supports wireless charging, via a special back cover accessory, using the Qi wireless charging standard in all but one instance. AT&T has chosen, against all odds, to go with the competing standard, the Power Matters Alliance's (PMA) standard.

LG has finally announced the LG G3 Beat and in doing so has finally resolved the mystery of its size. The reason why the G3 Beat and the equivalent but rebranded G3 S are that big is because they aren't really meant to be the mini flagship's we've come to expect but are, instead, budget-friendly versions of LG's premium G3 smartphone.

The much praised LG flagship G3 smartphone has a lot going for it, in terms of intuitive design, state-of-the-art hardware and user-friendly features. One of its most praised attributes is its Smart Keyboard, with its enhancements that make the typing experience easier and even fun at times. The latest update to this virtual keyboard adds even more features that are seldom found in OEMs built-in or native keyboards.

Verizon is finally joining the LG G3 party as they announced that they are now accepting pre-orders for the much heralded Android smartphone. While there is still no announcement when it will actually be available at their retail stores, the product page reveals that the units will start shipping out to those who pre-ordered by July 17.

Android custom ROMs are one of the things that makes Android special and powerful. There is almost always a ROM for a smartphone or tablet, and even one for a smartwatch. So it is no surprise that rootzwiki has just revealed Gohma, the first Android Wear custom ROM that has been built for the LG G Watch.

ARM Holding has already given a preview of the innards of the LG G Watch and the Samsung Gear Live, but now it's the turn of the folks over at iFixit to give these devices some teardown love. And based on their meticulous process and screening, buyers looking forward to the first Android Wear smartwatches need not worry about these devices' repairability. At least not too much.

After child-friendly tablets, it was only a matter of time before manufacturers started zeroing on kids again, this time with wearable technology instead. Though not exactly the first, LG is now jumping into the fray with KizON, a smart band that seems to be built more for a parent's peace of mind than a kid's convenience and enjoyment.

The LG G Watch may be the more expensive of the two first Android Wear smartwatches, but thanks to a promo from AT&T, you can actually pull down that price tag lower than the Samsung Gear Live. If you're willing to buy 2 accessories that you may or may not use, you can get the G Watch from AT&T plus those two accessories, for a total of $179.25, shaving off 25 percent from the standard price.

LG's latest flagship is undoubtedly a thing of beauty, both in design and in hardware. If you've ever wondered about the kind of thinking that went into the making of the LG G3, the company is only too eager to share its inspiration in its latest video snippet that briefly narrate's the smartphone's Design Story.
